Core Service Offerings
Lean In & Lead Women’s Leadership Program
Women make outstanding leaders and greater gender diversity in leadership teams improve the quality of decisions being made. Yet old leadership paradigms, implicit bias and a myriad of other forces have slowed progress and kept many capable women from advancing as leaders and being seated at decision making tables. Our Lean In & Lead program is tailored to your organisation and the challenges of the women in it. It is designed to support women to fully leverage their feminine leadership strengths, grow their leadership capacity and expand their influence. Our interactive programs address both the internal and external barriers that women must overcome such as countering unconscious bias, the confidence gap and managing the transitions and competing demands of work, family and life.
Brave Leadership & Team Synergy Program
We create customized programs to elevate team performance, build the collective currency of trust within a team (particularly during and after major change) and equip team members with the skills, strategies and framework required to pull together toward a shared mission with a compelling Why. Our programs always take into account the context in which teams are operating and draw on a mixture of leadership models, methodologies and frameworks including positive psychology, neuro-leadership, appreciative enquiry, emotional intelligence, strength-based coaching and mindfulness. Performance metrics and accountability measures are built into the programs to measure effectiveness and support sustainable behavioral change.
Executive & Leadership Coaching
We provide senior leaders with personalized coaching, consulting and trusted advisory. These conversations guide leaders in Leading from Why, building their currency of trust and cultivating a culture of courage that fosters stronger collaboration among stakeholders, intrapreneurship and innovation and unleashes the human potential in their teams and organizations. Clients will be guided in building a compelling vision, identifying ‘blind spots’, clarifying core values, distinguishing the ‘vital few’ from the ‘trivial many’ and managing their time and energy in ways that enable them to bring their best selves to their biggest challenge and highest purpose.
Women’s Leadership Advocacy & Diversity Consulting
We work within private, public and non-profit sectors to advocate for greater gender diversity, more inclusive policy and practices, and far stronger representation of women in senior leadership and board level positions. Advocacy also includes media commentary on closing the gender gap, panel discussions and participation in government and corporate roundtables and advisory committees.
We also provide consulting to improve gender diversity and inclusion, particularly relating to plugging the leaky pipeline and gaining stronger female representation in senior leadership and board positions.
